JUST AFTER A GUILTY VERDICT IN THE TRIAL OF LORI VALLOW, THE ‘20/20’ LIMITED TRUE CRIME SERIES ‘BAD ROMANCE’ REPORTS ON THE LATEST IN THE CASE

Less than two weeks ago, an Arizona jury found Lori Vallow guilty of conspiring to murder her fourth husband, Charles Vallow. It was a strange and horrific story that began six years ago when, after falling in love with author Chad Daybell, Lori Vallow’s children mysteriously disappeared and authorities found them, months later, buried in Chad’s backyard. Lori and Chad were both arrested and charged with the children’s murders and were also convicted. But the law wasn’t through with Lori, as another dramatic trial just ended. This time, it was connected to the murder of her spouse, Charles. Now, ABC News contributor and ESPN analyst Ryan Smith reports on the verdict and shares details of the case and how she became the person in the middle of this horrific tragedy in an all-new episode of the “20/20” limited true crime series “Bad Romance,” airing TUESDAY, MAY 6 (10:01-11:00 p.m. EDT) on ABC and streaming the next day on Hulu.

“Bad Romance” is hosted by ABC News contributor and ESPN analyst Ryan Smith. Now in its second season, the series reveals shocking true crime stories of love turned lethal over the years, and features interviews with individuals involved in some of the most deadly and twisted obsessions.
